'Kirby' returns to Wii and DS in two new titles

Nintendo has revealed new Kirby titles releasing later this year for both the Wii and DS.

Kirby returns to the Wii in Kirby's Adventure Wii, which will see up to four players controlling Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight and Waddle Dee, or each player controlling a different coloured Kirby. By using teamwork and Kirby's copy ability, players will inhale, spit and transform to overcome the game's challenges.

On the DS, Kirby multiplies in the new title Kirby Mass Attack. Players will control a Kirby swarm using the DS touch-screen to solve puzzles. Tapping will move the Kirby mass to the user's location and flicking on the touch-screen will cause Kirby to jump.

Kirby's last game was Kirby's Epic Yarn on the Wii, which received critical acclaim for its inventive art style and classic side-scrolling gameplay.

Kirby's Adventure Wii will release on the Wii in December in Europe. The game will go by the name Kirby Returns to Dreamland in the US, but does not yet have a release date.

Kirby Mass Attack will release on the Nintendo DS from October 28 in Europe and September 19 in the US.
